Renowned Yoruba actor, Ganiyu Oyeyemi Ogunjimi, has passed away, leaving the entire Nollywood industry and fans in mourning.

His demise was announced by actor Kunle Afod on Friday through his Instagram page, leading social media users to pen tributes in his honor.

He affortlessly portrayed roles as a warrior and herbalist, often starring alongside Abija, Lalude, Fadeye, Dagunro, and others.

He wrote, “We tried our best but God loves you more May his soul rest in peace Baba Ogunjinmi RIP Sun re oooo”.
